Be it known that I, Wmnun' F. Waomm,

of the United Wilmington, in the coun and State of North Caro certain new and useful Improvements in Liquid Dispensers; and I do declare the following to bea full, clear,and exact descri tion of the invention, such as will enab 6 others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make 'and'use the same.

This invention relates to an improved liquid dispenser for. use in connection with otliiew Hanover where it is esined to permit a certain amount of the liquid to flow into the receptacle forming part of the dispenser and cause the flow of liquid into the receptacle to be cut oil when the desired amofint of liquid has j entered the receptacle.

One object of the invention is to so construct the-dispensing'device that the mech-.

anism for causing thevalve to close'may be adjusted so that the valve will close when a predetermined amount of liquid has entered the receptacle.

Another object of the invention is to so construct this valve actuating mechanism that it may be operated by a float slidably mounted upon a sleeve and to further provide means for turning the sleeve so that a desired abutment may be engaged by the float according to the amount of liqui it is desired to have enter thereceptacle.

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved type of strainer for straining the gasolme or other fluid entering the receptacle and thus prevent sediment from passing out of the receptacle when emptied.

Another object of the invention is to so construct the receptacle that a drain pipe may enter a cup provided at thebottom of the strainer for drawing ofl a small amount of liquid having the sediment contained therein. a v 4 'Another object of the invention is to so construetthe receptacle that a. visible gauge may be provided, the receptacle, strainer cup and gauge tube being ormed' of glass so that the contents of the receptacle may be viewed.

Another object of the invention is to so construct this dispensing device that one of the rods serving to retam the strainer in a set-up position, may also serve as a guide Specification)! Letten'ra'tent. Application fled August 10, 1920. Serial immune.

Another of the invention is to prov1de a device so constructed that 1t. may be y taken apart when necessa orceamng or repair urposes but wh ibh is further so constructed that it will be securely held in a set-up position when in use.

This invention is illustrated in the accompanymg drawings, wherein:

Figure 7 is a detail view of the valve for the feed pipe.

This improved dispensing device is provided with a receptacle which is mounted upon the pedestal 1, the pedestal having an upper section 2 upon which a light 3 for advertising purposes may be mounted. A closure 4 1s provided so that when not in use, this closure may be secured and thus the liquid dispensing1 device prevented. from being tampered wit by unauthorized persons The receptacle which is carried by the stand as'shown in Fig. 1 is provided with an upper head 5 and a lower head 6 which areprovided with grooves 7 and 8 to receive the upper and lower end portions of a cylindrical wall Qiormed of glass or other transparent material so that the interior of the' 1s a vertical sectional view The upper head is provided'with an (28nm mg 13 covered by a valve housing 14 which extends a mp le 15 so that the line may pass into t e receptacle. A

ofi' pipe 16 extends through the lower head and will be connected with a suitable hose thus permitting the gasoline to be fed into the tank of an automobile. It is desired to provide a visible gauge so that the height of the gasoline in the receptacle may be readily ascertainel and been provided a tube 17 which extends vertically in the receptacle and "contains a float 18 which will move upwardly in the tube as the receptacle fills with the liquid. Therefore, the height of the liquid 1n the receptacle can be readily ascertained. From an inspection of Fig. 3, it will be seen that the tube 17 is open at one side and terminates a short distance from the wall of the re ceptacle thus providing space to permit the li uid to enter the tube.

he pipe 19 which leads from a suitable reservoir is provided with a valve 20 including a stem 21 .andvvalve head 22 normally held in a closed position by the springs 23. An actuating handle or lever 24 is provided and is connected with the stem 21 so that when it desired to have the gasoline pass into the receptacle, the

stem may be moved to open the valve 20 and permit the gasoline to flow through the pipe 19 past the check valve 25 and through the valve 14 into the nipple 15. This valve 14 is provided with a valve head 26 which is carried by a stem 27 slid'- ably mounted in the valve housing with its upper end extending into an opening formed in a plug 28 and engaged by a spring 29. The spring 29 will nor-mall move the stem 27 downwardly and thus the valve 14 will normally be held in a closed position when the stem is relieved from pressure holding it in a raised position against action of the spring.

In order to permit the valve 14 to be held open against the action of. the ring 29 and further in order to permit t e valve 14 to be closed when a predetermined amount of aeoline has entered the receptacle, there as been provided a sleeve 30 which is slidably mounted upon a rod or stem 31 which passes through the upper head and is screwed into a threaded opening formed in the lower head of the receptacle. This sleeve is provided with abutment lugs 32 which are arranged in a s iral course about the sleeve as shown in ig. 5. The lugs are so positioned that the distance between the lugs corresponds to the amount of space in the receptacle occupied by a iven quantity of gasoline. A float 33 is foosely mounted u n the sleeve 30 and provided with an a utment strip 34 for engaging the abutment lugs 32 and this float therefore there .has b is provided with guide strips 35 and 36, one of which engages a rod 37 extendin vertically in the receptacle near the wafi thereof. The second strip engages one of the bolts 38 which form part of a filter to be hereinafter described, and therefore the float will be held against rotary movement but will be permitted to have vertical sliding movement. By having the sleeve rotatable as well as slidable, the sleeve may e turned to bring a desired lug 32 into position for engagement by the abutment strip 34 and the float may be permitted to move upwardly a desired extent before the strip 34 engages a lug ard causes the sleeve to be moved upwardly with the float. This sleeve carries at. its u per end agear 39 having in its upper ace a groove 40 in which will be positioned a ball 41 having a stem 42 extending therefrom and connected with a lever 43 pivotally mounted upon the bracket 44 and engaging the lower end of the valve stem 27. It will thus be seen that the sleeve 30 will act as a wei ht to normally swing the lever'to the position of Fig. 4 andthus move the stem 27 Lpwardly and open the valve. lVhen the float engages one of the lugs 32 and moves the sleeve upwardly, pressure will be removed from the stem 27 and the spring 29 can then move the valve to a closed position to cut off the flow of gasoline through the valve 14. In order to permit the sleeve to be turned,

there has been provided a, stem 45 which is journaled in the upper head 5 and is provided at its lower end with an elongated gear or pinion 46 meshing with the pinion 39. At the up r end of this stem 45 there has been provi ed a turning head 47 which includw a dial48 having indicating marks thereon. By turning the stem so that the desired mark of the dial is in the proper relation to the pointer 49, the sleeve may be turned to bring the desired Iug into position for engagement by the abutment of the float and therefore the sleeve will not be moved upward] to permit the valve 14 to be closed unti the receptacle has peen filled with the desired amount of gaso- It is desired to have the gasoline filtered and all sediment removed from the same, and there has therefore been provided a filter having an upper head 50 and a lower head 51, the bolts 38 being passed through the upper head and screwed into threaded sockets formed in the lower head. The nipple 15 is screwed into the neck 52 of the 'upper head and engages a bushing 53 which of this tubular '55' is connected with a sleeve or cup 57 whichisformed -of -glass end of the cup. 7 The cup fitsinto a (groove 59 formed in the l )wel" hea.d '51 pen a tight joint. A screenfii il,'. 'proVided in the lower rtion of'thew cup so that sediment will 8: retainedfinthis cup and prevented fro'm pa ming out of the same with gasoline when the cup isdrained. In order:v

to drain this cup, there hasbeen provided a pipe 62 which is connected'with a; ni ple 63 y an elbow 64, the nipple extenslng girogagdli the loweirfihead 6 and ha i a u r en ttmginto an openmg fo l nied in lie lower head 51 of the filter.

When this device is in use, it is setup as shown in Fig. 1 and when it is desired to a certain quantity of gasoline, the stem will be rotated head 47 until the numbereorresponding to '14 into the be viewed th the amount of gasoline desired is in operative relation to the pointer 49. This will position the desired lugs 32 above the abutment strip or late 34. The valve 20 will then be opens and the gasoline will flow through the ipe 19 and through the valve lter. The gasoline will ass out of the filter and the receptacle will be partially or wholl As the gasoline the rece e, the float wlill b4moved upvlzaiidlyuntil the t p ate engages t e 32 position *a vs the plate. As soon as he plate engages the lugs, the sleeve will be carried upwardly and the lever 43 will be moved upon its pivot thus releasing pressum from the valve stem27andpermit' thespring29 to move the valve tea flow of gasoline will be thus cut oil automatically when a desired amount has entered the receptacle. The valve 20 will thenhe closed and the gasoline permiwed'to pass out through the outlet pipe 16. As soon asthe gasoline passesoutoftherece e, the Heat will return to the origi tionandthesleevewillactasaw' to open the valve 26.

'It will thus beseenthat there has been rovided a gasoline which is so constructed that the flow of gasoline into the receptacle will becilt oil when a predetermined amount has entered the receptacle.
